EDPS Recognised for Accountability at GPA Awards
the EDPS has been awarded at the GPA Awards in the Accountability category for two strategic initiatives to enhance personal data breach management across EU institutions: The Data Breach Awareness Campaign and PATRICIA Exercise - Personal dATa bReach awareness In Cybersecurity Incident hAndling!
The Data Breach Awareness Campaign, targeted at selected participants, was structured to assess existing breach management practices, identify critical areas, evaluate process implementation, and provide tailored recommendations.
In addition, together with the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), we jointly organised two table-top exercises in Brussels. The initiative was designed to raise awareness among staff from European Union Institutions on how to effectively manage personal data breaches.
This recognition by the Global Privacy Assembly highlights the value of joint initiatives where supervisory authorities build capacity, foster collaboration, and promote continuous improvement in data protection.
We thank the Global Privacy Assembly for this recognition and remain committed to strengthening cooperation and preparedness in the protection of personal data.
